Mt. Kailash (6714m), which is thought to be the holy habitation the gods and goddesses and the exact center of the whole universe, is the holiest peak of all. The mountain is popular for its remarkable four-confronted shape like that of a pyramid. The cleft on its southern side converged by a progression of rocks structures a holy Buddhist image 'Swastika'. Mt. Kailash is alluded to as Kang Rinpoche (actually signifying 'a shimmering mass of snow') by the Tibetan local people. Devotees relate this mountain to Mt. Meru of Hindu mythology. In old Hindu myths,, Mt. Meru has been depicted as a mountain, lying in the Himalayan range, with its four confronts made of four unique gems (gold, precious stone, ruby and lapis lazuli), where spirits dwelled and from where four incredible waterways began.
